Question
I have a very light yellow colored lab pup that is 6 weeks old and his eyes are still a bright blue is this normal?Also when he was born his ears and nose were pink but his nose is turned a light brown now is this all normal.

Answer
Yes, it's normal.  Your lab is what is commonly known as a Dudley.  It's basically a chocolate lab with yellow fur.  You'll find the nose, lips, eye rims, pads, etc. will be brown just like in a chocolate lab.  

If you want more details about the color genetics, just let me know.
